Dr.jart+ Intensive Repair

Cicapair is Dr.Jart+'s proprietary centella asiatica complex, standardised to deliver consistent levels of madecassic acid and asiatic acid. These actives help calm inflammatory signals, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce visible redness over time. It is the core ingredient across the entire Intensive Repair line.

The collection is especially suited to sensitive, reactive, and dry skin types. Normal skin with occasional sensitivity can use lighter formats like the serum or treatment lotion. Oily skin types may find the Repair Cream heavy for daily use but can benefit from the serum and treatment lotion.

Follow thinnest to thickest: Treatment Lotion first (on damp skin), then Serum, then Milky Lotion or Repair Cream. In the evening, replace the lotion step with the Sleepair Mask 2-3 nights per week. Use SPF over everything in the morning.

The initial graininess is caused by the centella powder particles before they warm up. Press the cream between your palms for a few seconds before applying - it transforms into a smooth emulsion that melts into skin with no residue.

2-3 nights per week is a good starting point. If your skin is very reactive or you are in a post-procedure recovery phase, you can use it nightly. Apply as the last step before bed and rinse with lukewarm water in the morning.

Yes. Centella actives pair well with retinol. One approach is to use Cicapair products on alternating nights with retinol. Another is to apply a thin layer of the Repair Cream before retinol to slow absorption and reduce irritation - a technique sometimes called buffering. Start with the buffer method if your skin is new to retinol.

Most people notice calmer skin within 2-4 weeks of consistent use. Visible redness reduction builds gradually - the repair cream and serum work on barrier integrity first, which in turn reduces the frequency of flare-ups. Immediate colour-correcting effects (if any) are mild and cosmetic, not a substitute for the cumulative skin benefit.

Most products in the Intensive Repair line are formulated without added fragrance, which is one reason they are a go-to for sensitive skin. Check individual product ingredient lists on each product page to confirm, as formulations can vary by format and edition.

Centella asiatica is widely used in post-procedure skincare for its calming and barrier-repair properties. The Cicapair Serum and Repair Cream are commonly recommended after mild to moderate procedures. Always check with your dermatologist or aesthetician for the specific protocol after your treatment, especially in the first 48 hours.

It sits between the two. The texture is watery like a toner, but its purpose is closer to a first-step treatment - it delivers centella actives to freshly cleansed skin and prepares the surface for subsequent layers to absorb better. Apply with your hands or a cotton pad immediately after cleansing, while your skin is still slightly damp.

All Dr.Jart+ products on Skinsli are sourced directly and come with sealed original packaging including a holographic authenticity sticker on the box base. Batch codes printed on the product can be independently verified using online batch-checking tools or the brand's official consumer line.

The Treatment Lotion is a watery first step applied right after cleansing to prep the skin and prime absorption. The Serum is a more concentrated formula applied after the lotion - it targets redness and barrier disruption with a higher active load. Use both for the full system, or use the Serum alone if you prefer a simpler routine.
